Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dylan Maltz (lacrosse)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. With the sources on the article currently, the article easily meets WP:GNG. WP:AFC is not a mandatory process. The circumstances of the article's creation and AFD nomination do lend themselves to suspicion of WP:GAMING the system and I'll be bringing that up with the Checkusers, but the article stands on its own merits.

College players hardly notable, WP:NCOLLATH, more so when no in-depth source exists to pass our WP:N. Obi Okparra (talk) 15:36, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We don't seem to have a specific WP:NSPORTS section for lacrosse players, but he's played at the professional level since 2018, and a number of the article's sources look like they're in-depth enough to pass WP:SPORTBASIC or WP:GNG. I certainly wouldn't say there are no such sources. clpo13_(talk) 18:48, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clpo13 Just found this Draft:Dylan Maltz, so this is essentially a way to game the system (WP:GAMING). Looks like a good job done by the UPE (hiding declared paid history). I am suspicious that they have nominated this article by themselves in order to get it approved fast. 79.66.223.74 (talk) 13:54, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify as per my recent findings. Created by a SPA who haven't even defended this because they just move on. This is WP:GAMING at best. An AfC reviewer should review the article. If the article creator is reading this, then please provide WP:THREE sources so we can review. A cursory look shows the coverage is WP:ROUTINE and this fails WP:NOTNEWS. 79.66.223.74 (talk) 13:57, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
